Advantages: lots of family fun
Disadvantages: none
When buying board games for my children, I tend to buy the older games like Ludo and Snakes and Ladders etc. This year for Christmas I bought a tin of fiveteen games, older games which cost around £9.00 from Symths Toys, but I am only reviewing Ludo.
The board
The Ludo board is split into four coloured sections which are red, blue, green and yellow, so each player chooses which colour they wish to be and then places four counters in the suitable colour section.
Starting the game
The game is for 2 - 4 players and each player has to roll the dice and get a "6" to take their first counter from the coloured section and out onto the board, this apply`s to the other counters as well.
The home area
In the middle of the board there is a white section where each player moves his or her counters around and in the middle of the white section there are coloured sections, these coloured sections are known as "HOME". Each player has to move around the board and the first person to get their counter home is the winner.
Conclusion
I love all these sorts off games, and so do my kids, we have had lots of fun with this Ludo game, this game would suit for 5 years and above and the whole family can enjoy the fun, another good point of this game is that it gets the kids counting, so to a certain degree it is educational and they dont even realise.
Thanks for reading

- 03/01/08 I've never quite understood why this game is called Ludo in the UK, but Parcheesi in the US. Go figure!
This is a useful description of the game and how to play, though perhaps a wee bit light on the opinion and personal thoughts (but that's just me... :) )
